MEMORANDUM

Guillermo Atondo-Castaneda appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges his guilty-plea conviction and 87-month sentence for conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute 50 grams or more of actual methamphetamine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 846 and 21 U.S.C. § 841 (a)(1), (b)(l)(A)(viii). Pursuant to Anders v. California, 886 U.S. 738 , 87 S.Ct. 1396 , 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), Atondo-Castaneda’s counsel has filed a brief stating that there are no grounds for relief, along with a motion to withdraw as counsel of record. We have provided Atondo-Cas-taneda the opportunity to file a pro se supplemental brief. No pro se supplemental brief or answering brief has been filed.

Atondo-Castaneda has waived his right to appeal his conviction and 87-month sentence. Because thé record discloses no arguable issue as to the validity of the appeal waiver, we dismiss the appeal. See United States v. Watson, 582 F.3d 974, 986-88 (9th Cir.2009).

Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED.

DISMISSED.
